Richard Plotz
Richard Plotz (commonly known as Dick Plotz) is known for his interview with J.R.R. Tolkien in the late 1960s under the auspices of Seventeen Magazine, and for a 1967 letter from Tolkien delineating the declension of the noun in late Quenya (the so-called "Plotz Declension").[1] Plotz also attended Harvard University as an undergraduate.
